When Beer Distribution Heiresses Attack

Since when did Cindy McCain become the great arbiter of patriotism in this country? Does inheriting a brewery give you some grand insight into the "soul of America" that we are missing? What about developing a bizarre form of pill/cookie recipe kleptomania? No? So then could someone please explain to us why Cindy McCain gets a free pass every time she uses the same stale attacks against Michelle Obama? In an interview with ABC News in Vietnam this week, Cindy again seized on Michelle's much taken-out-of-context statement that "for the first time" she was "proud of [her] country."

"Everyone has their own experience," [Cindy McCain] says. "I don't know why she said what she said. All I know is that I have always been proud of my country."
Cindy, maybe you don't know why Michelle "said what she said" because she didn't actually say what you keep accusing her of saying. We'll be getting into this in the last hour of the show today.
